Windows 10: hiding send a smile in Office 2016

I cannot delete "send a smile" icon (yellow top right smile) at Office 2016
I was referred to delete at the registry at the folder 15.0 of Office but I do not have that registry folder. I do have 16.0. And at the 16.0 folder I do not have "Feedback"

:)

 

Windows 10 update downloads Office 2013 updates when Office 2013 is not installed

That hides the problem. Then one has to remember to manually update Office 2016.

 

How to remove a default file association app from a file type in Windows 10

Such a great answer that is not addressing the question at all. Well done.

So I have the same problem and it's coming completely from microsoft. We decided to install office 365. We had already office 2016 on our machines, so we thought we didn't need office 2016 that is bundled with office 365. Turns out office 2016 from office
365 is not the same as office 2016. Great!

So now we uninstalled office on all our machines, and reinstalled office 2016 from office 365 (that's a mouthful...)

Anyways, since then nobody can use send to -> mail recipient. One answer was to recreate the link for send to. For that, you have to edit the file with notepad. Did that, forgot to uncheck open by default with notepad.

Now .mapimail is opened by notepad and it's impossible to use send to -> mail recipient anymore. And windows 10 is so well done that we cannot remove the association. That's a nice pile of c*** you sent us there microsoft, thanks a lot.

Regards, a clearly not satisfied customer.

 

1. In registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft
2. Create new keys: Office > Common > Restrictions
3. In that key, create new DWORD: NoHelpItemSendFeedback
4. Edit value from 0 to 1
Launch any MS Office 2016 product and the smiley’s should not be there.
